<p class="ltx_p">Visualization (rendering) of SMLM data involves creation of a new
super-resolution image based on the coordinates of the localized molecules.
ThunderSTORM offers several methods, all of which support both two-dimensional
visualization and slice-by-slice three-dimensional visualization.
In the three-dimensional case, each image slice contains a visualization
of molecules with axial positions in the user-specified range. The
desired magnification ratio of the new super-resolution image to the
original image is user-specified.</p>

<p class="ltx_p">The proposed average shifted histogram method provides similar results
as Gaussian rendering with a fixed sigma, but is orders of magnitude
faster. Both methods result in a molecular density map. The Gaussian
rendering approach can further show the calculated localization accuracy
for each molecule.</p>
